O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today. 
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, courage and peace for my daily life 

After seven days, God told Moses and Aaron
to go to Pharaoh again,
this time causing a plague of frogs to cover the land
when Pharaoh again refused to let the people go.

Then God got Aaron to strike the ground
and the dust turned into mosquitoes
which attacked people and animals throughout Egypt .

But still Pharaoh would not let the people go.

Next there was a plague of flies which afflicted every place
except the land of Goshen where the Israelites lived.

Pharaoh then said the people could go
and he asked Moses to pray for the flies to stop.

But once the flies stopped
Pharaoh changed his mind and would not let the people go.

Dear God, please help all world leaders to listen to your voice

Ring out your joy to God our strength,
shout in triumph to the God of Jacob.

Listen to the voice of the Lord:

"I am the Lord your God
who brought you out from the land of Egypt.

Let there be no foreign god among you,
no worship of a false god.

O that my people would heed me,
that Israel would walk in my ways.

At once I would subdue their foes.
But Israel I would feed with finest wheat and honey".

Lord, please help us to walk in your ways

Paul and his friends next went to the town of Thessalonika.
On three Sabbaths,  Paul spoke at the local prayer hall, explaining how Jesus is the Anointed One

Some Jewish listeners and many non-Jewish people became believers.
But the religious leaders, out of jealousy, stirred up a gang from the market place

The gang dragged some believers to the city council.
The leaders shouted "The people who have been turning the whole world upside down,
have come to our town. They claim there is another emperor, Jesus"

The believers were eventually allowed to go on bail

Jesus, please don't let jealous people stop anyone from becoming a Christian

Jesus now began explaining to his disciples
how he must go to Jerusalem to suffer, die and rise from the dead.

He also said 
"If you want to be my disciple, you must deny yourself,
take up your own cross, and follow me.

Selfishness will ruin your life.
Self-sacrificing will bless your life.

What use is it to have everything in this world
yet miss out on Heaven?"

Jesus, please help me find my life by losing it in service of others
